LONGITUDINAL STUDIES OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND PHYSICAL GROWTH OF CHILDREN IN RURAL BANGLADESH

Infectious diseases caused by microbial pathogens are most common and widespread health risks are associated with drinking water. This paper presents a model for prediction of disease burden for ingestion of microbial pathogens through drinking water in rural Bangladesh. The concentration of indicator organisms (Thermotolerant coliform or Escherichia coli) in cfu/100ml were taken as input in the model and estimated disease burden in ?DALYs with some relevant statistical parameters are obtained as output. The model has been found useful in quantifying relative disease burden of microbial pathogens, comparing safety of different water supply options and delineating the interventions needed to reduce disease burden from drinking water.

Negative Effects

Although researchers would like to see more longitudinal studies, increasing evidence supports the finding of the negative effects of malnutrition on physical growth and mental development, particularly at the critical prenatal and postnatal growth stages. Nutrition is affected by a broad spectrum of influencing factors—social, cultural and economic. Their cumulative ill effects have to be considered when seeking solutions for the betterment of the quality of human life.

Stunting is a global health problem and in Indonesia, both in urban and rural areas. Stunting occurs in children and if preventive actions are not taken such as nutrition, immunization, and maintain a clean environment, it may cause disturbances in children in brain development, body metabolism, and physical growth. Risk factors for stunting in children’s parental habits , basic immunization, basic sanitation, history of infectious diseases, smoking habits, and upper respiratory tract infections. The purpose of this study is to provide information on factors that play a role in the risk of stunting according to a review study. This study uses a descriptive method with a literature review approach using previous research from the Sinta database. The review criteria used are indexed by Sinta 2, 3, 4, and 5, published times over the last 5 years. The conclusion of this literature review study is that there are several factors associated with the incidence of stunting such as the parenting habits of children, basic immunization, basic sanitation, history of infectious diseases, smoking habits, and incidence of respiratory infections.
